Any other information about payment terms

We make two payments a month. Once mid month and once at the beginning of the month. As most of our invoices are end of month following we are usually a few days late with our standard payments. This is something our suppliers are comfortable with. Late payment figures may be exaggerated in this period as we agree to pay a lot suppliers later than normal for our year end.

Dispute resolution process

Non Stock It is up to the budget / invoice holder to resolve any 'non-stock' invoice disputes. Stock Price disputes on stock items (variances to the Purchase Order) are sent to our Procurement team to resolve directly with the supplier. Quantity disputes are largely dealt with by our Purchase Ledger teams. PODs are provided to validate any dispute.
